On the properties I hunt most, I have permission year round. I am in contact with those landowners periodically throughout the year. I stop in and see how things are as often as I can.
I always ask if they are still okay with me using there place, and they always are. I also always ask if they want me to call before I come out to hunt, and very rarely do I hear an answer other than "Just go ahead. Come out any time you want." I always make a point of asking these questions in late summer well before the season, so they can focus on harvest and moving cattle and other seasonally intensive activities.
In fact, I have two dogs and two cats buried in a spot overlooking a river where I do most of my bird hunting. Needless to say I am very protective of these landowners' property.
